GETTYSBURG.

The fraternal meeting of the Blue and
Gray July End on the memorable battle
Geld of Gettysburg was an occasion for
profound congratulation by every patriot
in this land. Twenty four years ago the
loyal hearts of this country rejoiced in a
victory that marked the beginning of the
end of cruel war. From that day the
spirits of patriots were inspired with new
hope and stronger faith that this govern
ment of the people was not to be destroyed
from the earth: but from the baptismal
fount of fire would arise purer freedom
and grander nationality
The American people are essentially a
magnanimous people Twenty four years
ago when Pickett's hosts marched into
Gettysburg under the Confederate flag
they were met by terrible storm of shot
and shell and the irresistible charge
of the brave and defiant de-
Tenders of the union. On this
occasion they march into the same place
under the stars and stripes anG are met by
salutes from friendly guns and acclama-
lions of Joy by assembled thousands. The
odious rebel yell set to the tune of the
union receives the plaudits of the great
republic. Future ages will look with ad-
miration back over the battlefields of the
rebellion, and hearts of patriots will in all
the ages to come throb with patriotic pride,
as in the dim past they seem 10 hear the roll
of Grants drums and the tramp
of the grandest army ever assem-
bled on this earth In fseedom's cause.
These battle fields will be no
less sacred to patriots because on all of
them, from Bulls Run to Appomattox the
Confederate soldiers have erected their
monuments to American valor. All such
unions of the Blue and the Gray under the
stars and stripes are sacred pledges for the
perpetuity Of the Union. The suppression
of the rebellion was a grand military
achievement, but the restoration Of the
Union In the affections of those who fought
to destroy 1t is craftsmanship unequaled,
and approved by every citizen whose first
love and devotion is his country.

Day by days does 1t become more ap
parent that Mr. Cleveland will not get the
nomination of his party. The Chicago

flrst instance of which We have ever heard
IN which the harmony of the Democratic
camp has been mared on account of enter

PROHIBITION IN TEXAS.

Chicago Tribune.
The prohibition fight in Texas is waxing
| warm, as well as the weather. The preach.
ers are stumping the state with great zeal.
but the women agitators seem deferred by
the hostile southern sentiment agains,
female politicians" and have left the
clergymen to fight the battle alone The
latter, however, have many helpers of their
own sex. As the canvass goes on there are
'hangings in effigy, rows between rival
street professions, terrific journalistic bat
ties, virulent attacks on personal charac
ter, and frequent showers of rotten eggs
and decayed vegetables. The prohibition
lists, however, have been careful not to pro-
woke the hostility of the Democratic party,
and are receiving support from few Demo
cratic leaders. No other issue is pending,
no candidates are before the people, and the
vote in August will be confined to the sole
question of prohibition. In accordance
with the general policy the Prohibitionists,
who in the north thrust their issue into
state and national elections in order to in
jure the Republican party. take every pre-
caution in the south to keep the ques ion
out OF political elections, in order to avoid
any collision with the Democracy Still in
Texas the leaders of the anti-prohibition
side are Democrats like Gov. Ross and
Roger @. Mills, and the rough treatment
awarded the prohibition advocates in some
quarters undoubtedly comes from Demo-
Gratis. Party lines have not been drawn,
however, and the struggle is now progress
Ing is pretty we'll defined between tie
on one side and 'the rum power,
the flesh, and the devil on the other.

Would it not be good idea to bum
those confederate flags at the base of the
union monument at Gettysburg?-Ksn-
sas City Times.
So far as, they commemorate the BRAY
cry of the soldiers who captured them or
even of those who tried with their lives to
defend them they are not particularly Of
fensive. If they served no other purpose
than to remind people of the conduct of
the Democratic party during the war they
would better be burned in the furnace of
Phil Armour's Pork house at Kansas City
and not disgrace the monument by burn
ing them near it.

WICHITA NOT DEAD.
The Thriving Kansas Town Said to be
Still Growing Very Rapidly.

From the Cleveland Ohio Leader.
A few days since received letter from
gentleman in your city in which he says:
81 am told that Wichita is dead, and some
say even worse than dead Please drop me
line and let me know the true state OF
things" Hundreds Of such letters have
come to this city in the last two months. l
have received several of like import from
northern Ohio that l would like to answer
through the Leader and give the ''true
tate of things" If Wichita is dead she is
the liveliest corpse still above the ground.
1t is the kind of death the citizens of this
city are glad to see, and the kind her rivals
would be glad to experience. One year
ago this date the population of Wichita
was 10000. The census is now being
taken, which we have no doubt will show
population of double that number, OF
very near It, The official records show
the valuation as follows
